Migrants continue to flood into the United States as President Biden's border crisis rages on, overwhelming communities across the country.

In order to deal with the massive influx of migrants, New York City Mayor Eric Adams announced his plan to house illegal immigrants in public school gyms in May 2023.
  While public outcry temporarily put a stop to this school takeover, a dangerous precedent has been set, and other cities, such as Chicago, are reportedly looking at putting similar plans in action. Additionally, New York City is considering housing migrants in school gyms over the summer.
Schools should be focused on providing the best opportunities to their students, who are already suffering from post-pandemic learning loss, not housing migrants because of the Biden Administration's failing policies.

Sheltering illegal immigrants in school facilities poses safety risks to students, denies them access to physical education and extracurricular activities, and disrupts their learning environment.

Rep. Marc Molinaro’s legislation, H.R. 3941, the Schools Not Shelters Act, bans the use of public elementary schools, secondary schools, or institutions of higher education as shelters for illegal immigrants. 

The solution to the massive influx of migrants caused by President Biden’s open border isn’t to house them in schools – it’s to close the border. House Republicans won’t stop fighting to make sure children in schools have access to a safe learning environment and extracurricular opportunities, despite President Biden’s refusal to secure the border.
